Yesterday, Junuary 18, 2012, thousands of websites perticipated in a virtual anti-SOPA/PIPA sit-in: Google, Reddit, Wired, Craigslist, Wikipedia, WordPress, Mozilla, MoveOn.org, and O’Reilly to name a few. Widener University School of Law’s Professor Tonya Evans joined the list of internet sites and created a teachable moment for her students: She explains: We’re doing a law […]
DrupalCamp Philadelphia: A Tasty, Open Source Success!
I’m really happy that Nathan Gasser and Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg made this happen in Philadelphia. The sessions were divided into Beginner and Experienced.

I will follow that up with a build-out of a community site for accepted applicants at the Law School. […]
Drupal Rules!
Very excited about learning my way around Drupal! Started playing around with PHP, installed Drupal on the server using the cPanel, and went to town installing a whole bunch of modules.
